In some diseases of the chest organs, local neurological disorders can occur. In particular, in the clinic of lung diseases, the pain phenomenon sometimes accompanies pathological processes in the pleural sheets. More complex neurological manifestations in the clinical picture of the disease of the lungs and mediastinum occur when the process is localized in the medial parts of the lungs with adjacent mediastinal parts of the pleura, in the apex of the lung, with subsequent changes in the apical pleura, in the costal-vertebral corners, in the immediate proximity to the diaphragm. In these complex anatomical zones, in close proximity to them, there are neuro-vegetative nodes, powerful sympathetic and parasympathetic plexuses, the trunks of the phrenic and vagus nerves pass. As a result, in a number of cases, pathological processes, varied in clinical forms, depending on the location and extent of anatomical changes, cause a complex complex of neurological symptoms that is unique for each case.
